I have several wines and meads that I used fresh squeezed orange juice along with grating the rind (being careful not to hit the white pith) and all of the batches are turning out very bitter after 2.5- 3 years of bulk aging. All were fermented dry which I prefer overall and using various yeast, I'd like to bottle these batches but not sure if the bitterness will age out. I was considering adding glycerin or potassium sorbate along with honey to back sweeten but not experienced enough to know what would be the best way to go.
Any input appreciated.
